14      <para>The commands in the remainder of the book should be run as
15      the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user. Check
16      that ${CLFS} is set in the
17      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user&rsquo;s environment
18       before proceeding.</para>

21  <para>Various file systems exported by the kernel are used to communicate
22  to and from the kernel itself. These file systems are virtual in that no
23  disk space is used for them. The content of the file systems resides in
24  memory.</para>
25
26  <para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will
27  be mounted:</para>
28
[040521bc]29<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv ${CLFS}/{dev,proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]30
31  <para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
32
[040521bc]33<screen><userinput>mount -vt proc proc ${CLFS}/proc
34mount -vt sysfs sysfs ${CLFS}/sys</userinput></screen>
[3f8be484]35
[fb40919]36  <para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on the CLFS system
[3f8be484]37  and start again later, it is important to check that these file systems
38  are mounted again before entering the chroot environment.</para>
39
[2115f27]40  <para>Two device nodes, <filename class="devicefile">/dev/console</filename>
41  and <filename class="devicefile">/dev/null</filename>, are required to be
[27e1607]42  present on the filesystem.  These are needed by the kernel even before
[2115f27]43  starting Udev early in the boot process, so we create them here:</para>
[3f8be484]44
[040521bc]45<screen><userinput>mknod -m 600 ${CLFS}/dev/console c 5 1
46mknod -m 666 ${CLFS}/dev/null c 1 3</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]47
48  <para>Once the system is complete and booting, the rest of our device
[2115f27]49  nodes will be created by the kernel's
50  <systemitem class="filesystem">devtmpfs</systemitem> file system. For now
51  though, we will just use the <quote>bind</quote> option in the mount command
52  to make our host system's /dev structure appear in the new CLFS filesystem:</para>
[27e1607]53
[040521bc]54<screen><userinput>mount -v -o bind /dev ${CLFS}/dev</userinput></screen>
[27e1607]55
[24b004c]56  <para>Additional file systems will soon be mounted from within the chroot
[27e1607]57  environment. To keep the host up to date, perform a <quote>fake mount</quote>
58  for each of these now:</para>
59
[ebfb62d]60<screen><userinput>if [ -h ${CLFS}/dev/shm ]; then
61  link=$(readlink ${CLFS}/dev/shm)
62  mkdir -p ${CLFS}/$link
63  mount -f -vt tmpfs shm ${CLFS}/$link
64  unset link
65else
66  mount -f -vt tmpfs shm ${CLFS}/dev/shm
67fi
[8f1ae86]68mount -f -vt devpts -o gid=&gid-tty;,mode=620 devpts ${CLFS}/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
